PLACING A HOLD
From MVLC
Holds can be placed either from the Search Results screen or when viewing an individual catalog record. To place a hold from your search results, click on the “Place Hold” link just below the author and title information.
To place a hold from an individual record, click on the “Place hold” link at the right of the green bar just above the author and title information.
You will be asked to enter your library card number and your password (PIN). If you do not know this information, your local library can provide it to you.
After entering this information, you’ll be taken to the “Create /Edit a Hold” screen. From this screen, you can select how and where you wish to be contacted when the item becomes available. You can choose to be contacted by phone, by e-mail or both. (Note: If you have provided your library with an e-mail address, you will be contacted by e-mail). The information you enter here is valid for this hold request only, and does not change any information contained in your library account.
You can also select a pickup location for the item (By default, the pickup location is the “Home” library listed in your borrower record) or change the expiration date for the hold (By default, your request expires one year from the date it’s placed if it’s not filled.)
